Today, we shall be looking at Scriptural examples of people who accepted responsibility and fulfilled their destiny:
i. Joseph
In Genesis 40:6-8, Joseph saw two prisoners who were depressed and downcast. Remember that he was not the one who put them in prison. He was not the person responsible for their sadness, yet he made up his mind to do something about their situation.
Other people saw them but did not ask them any question about their situation, but Joseph, being responsible, took it upon himself to find out what was wrong with them. He made up his mind to see what he could do about their situation. No wonder he couldn’t end in that prison, he ended in the palace.
ii. David.
In the Book of First Samuel Chapter Sixteen, when Samuel went to anoint a king in the house of Jesse, he met seven of his sons at home. Now, Jesse had eight sons, but these seven of them were irresponsible. They were lazing about at home and left the last boy, David, who was responsible, alone in the bush to tend their father’s flock. The oil could not flow on the lazy people who were idling about at home.

No wonder, in 1 Samuel 16:11, Samuel asked Jesse, “Are these all your sons?” Then Jesse said that there was still one, the youngest boy, David who was taking care of the sheep in the wilderness. When David was eventually called upon, he was anointed by Samuel.
